The wine greets you with a bright, medium garnet color that is consistent to the rim. The nose is clean. I really searched for some aromatic qualities or descriptors and but the wine could not evoke anything definitive (maybe a hint of fresh blueberries, but I am really reaching for something here). On the palate the wine is dry, light-bodied with a pleasant low to medium level of soft tannins that creates a pleasurable structure for the wine. There also is mouth-watering acidity. The flavors are low intensity leaning toward fresh minerality (due to the acidity??) and a sweet black-cherry. The finish is clean with a medium to long length of lingering ripe (sweet) black-cherry flavor that seems to counter the initial low intensity on the palate.
Wine & Food: Serve slightly chilled at 55F. Cheeses might be Brie. Aged Cheddar, or Goat. Due to the tannins and sweetness on the finish this might be a nice pairing with beef, pork and duck as the base ingredient complemented with sauces or seasoning such as cherries, sweet onions, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and green herbs.
Approximate Retail Price: US$13.00
